Monrovia Confetti Lantana
Best low-maintenance shrub for gardeners seeking heat-tolerant, pollinator-friendly color.
This is the ultimate low-effort workhorse for gardeners who want a constant explosion of color without the constant upkeep. It thrives on neglect and heat, though you sacrifice a tidy, upright structure for a wild, spreading habit that demands a bit of space to roam.
